Tuesday Nov 8th [1864]

Up at daylight. And made a tin
of Crust -- Coffee. Then took a turn
around by the Cook House, found
them issuing nothing, but they
commenced issuing soup to the 1st
Division a few moments after
Today is a memorable day to
all the prisoners. The Presidential
Election. there is a great deal of
speculation as to who will be
Elected. The weather is just like
it always was on Election day
Cloudy and drisling rain All day
The Navy Officers that was here
for a few day was sent away
yesterday. At 9 A.M. we drew soup
Nothing else in the Cook House
After dark we drew half Ration
of Soup. did not go all the way
around the Roll. Ague again
today
